  Mr. CARTER of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I salute the extraordinary career 
of Frank Leffingwell as he retires from a lifetime of civic 
involvement. Along with his many contributions to Central Texas, 
Frank's outstanding work as a councilman for the City of Round Rock, 
Texas has helped make my hometown a great place to live and work.
  Frank's commitment to investing his gifts, talents, and abilities to 
improve his community is a deeply held creed that speaks to the 
generosity and activism of a true and devoted public servant. His 
resume tells the story of a man unafraid to contribute both his time 
and energies to a multitude of organizations that rely on volunteerism 
and social engagement to make good communities great.
  His tenure on the Round Rock City Council is marked by his tremendous 
efforts to support his growing town's long-term vitality through 
economic development. Frank's worked tirelessly to ensure residents 
have a rich quality of life that includes access to water, energy, and 
cutting-edge health care while supporting the arts, our first 
responders, and the most vulnerable. His legacy speaks to the highest 
values we Texans hold dear.
  Frank Leffingwell's retirement is the richly-deserved beginning of an 
exciting journey. I join his colleagues, family, and friends in 
honoring his career, commending his commitment to public service, and 
wishing my friend nothing but the best in the years ahead.
